2 。5 Valve System The valve system is made up of those parts needed to open and close the valve at just the right time 。 2 。5.1 Valve System To coordinate the four—stroke cycle ， a group of parts called the valve train opens and closes the valves (moves them down and up, respectively ）. These valves movements most take place at exactly the right movements. The opening of each valve is controlled by a camshaft.感谢阅读 1.Overhead Camshaft （OHC) Valve Train 谢谢阅读 The cam is an egg—shaped piece of metal on a shaft that rotates in coordination with the crankshaft. The metal shaft, called the camshaft ， typically has individual cams for each valve in the engine. As the camshaft rotates ， the lobe, or high spot of the cam ， pushes against parts connected to the stem of the valve 。 This action forces the valve to move downward 。This action could open an inlet valve for an intake stroke， or open an exhaust valve for an exhaust stroke 。感谢阅读 As the camshaft continues to rotate ， the high spot moves away from the valve mechanism 。 As this occurs, valve springs pull the valve tightly closed against its opening ， called the valve seat 。谢谢阅读 Valve in modern car engines are located in the cylinder head at the top of the engine 。This is known as an overhead valve (OHV) configuration 。In addition, when the camshaft is located over the cylinder head, the high-performance engines have two separate camshaft， one for each set of inlet and exhaust valves. These engines are known as dual overhead—camshaft (DHOC) engines 。感谢阅读 2.Push—rod Valve Train The camshaft also can be located in the lower part of engine, within the engine block 。 To transfer the motion of the cam upward to the valve, additional parts are needed.感谢阅读 In this arrangement， the cam lobes push against round metal cylinders called cam follower 。As the lobe of the cam comes up under t
